Protecting Nails from Nail Polish and Nail Polish Remover

Dr. Richard K. Scher, author of "Nails: Therapy, Diagnosis, Surgery", has mentioned that both typical nail polish and the remover of polish can damage your nails, causing breakage and a number of unwanted ailments. He points that in order to maintain healthy beautiful nails, it is best to use formaldehyde-free polish and non-acetone remover. Dr. Scher also stresses to keep nails polish free atleast one day a week, and on this off day moisturizing your nails with a lotion or cuticle oil is important. He mentions that moisturizing nails with nail polish is barely effective enough to practice this use. I like this hand and nails moisturizer from Caswell-Massey, because it comes in a pack of three, one for the purse, one for the bathroom, and one for the briefcase. Right now, it is on sale for only $5.


He also insists on wearing gloves when doing daily drudgery, such as cleaning or gardening. Gloveables, Inc. has the cutest ways to protect your nails and stay cute while house-cleaning. It also has cute aprons to match!





Small Note: My first posted style challenge is getting gloves to be a part of everyday daily wear.
